Excellent explanation, Will! I must admit, as a modular user, I find all my Euclidean patterns by accident using free running LFOs, clock dividers, mixed Gates/trigs and the like. Sure, they sell Euclidean specific modules, but when you stumble on a groove by accident it's quite a nice feeling and you better hit record quick.

💖💖💖 Here I thought I was finally making headway through the many levels of Ableton Live 11; until I just learned MAX for Live has a Euclidean Sequencer... Thanks, Will, thanks a lot! 😒(joke) By the way... Soniccouture have three awesome drum packs which include Euclidean sequencers: "Konkrete", "Moonkits" and "Sun Drums". (Homer drool face) I'm now thinking about using Ableton Live 11's MAX for Live Euclidean sequencer to send MIDI outboard to one of my synths... Ooh, the possibilities.

[@mylonrae]

Amazing video dude! Really love how you explained it and im so happy to find out what the rhythms are called that i am working with. never knew it was called Euclidian :D

[@kuzev]

Thanks for showing this nifty tool. Coming from Bulgaria where odd time signatures and syncopation for spacing notes is very common in folklore music I always found western notation systems lacking or making it difficult to represent music that isn't the normal 4/4 or 3/4. At the same time those rhythms feel very natural to play on an instrument. So if you are looking for esoteric musical concepts you might want to check time signatures like 7/8, 9/8 13/8 and 15/8

[@Xstatic1975]

Does anyone know a euclidean vst plugin where the steps depend on the midi chord notes in your midi clip? (step 1 - lowest note, step 2 - second note etc.) In most plugins (including HY-Plugins) you have to set the notes in the plugin manually or the plugin plays all notes from the midi chord on each step (i want a single note per step). It's not very dynamic if you want to change chords throughout the track.

[@TJ-hs1qm]

Every rhythm that ever existed on this planet can be made from Euclidian rhythms. Coming up with African / Afro-Cuban Polyrhythms becomes trivial... I recommend Taches Teaches excellent series. He is using bitwig, but the same concepts apply nonetheless. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH7FgZ6HhsaMbKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ-sfpyonamCh68

[@fullcircleaudio]

Almost all techno music uses this technique

[@EDMTips]

Sure! That would be a great follow-up

[@GoatPepper]

Off the top of my head I can only think of an album called Articulations by Rival Consoles, because he uses polyrhythms that are inherently euclidian. Despite being an electronic artist, after looking up his methods, it turns out he uses a lot of field recordings for his rhythm sections. And he avoided using any type of drum machines. He did however literally sketch his ideas for his tracks out on graph paper. He says his intentions are to explore different ways to conceive music while keeping the feel of it organic.
